The Oregon Speed Zone Review Panel will meet at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, September 10, to discuss speed zone changes on one road in Douglas County, west of Roseburg.

A release from the Oregon Department of Transportation said the panel will consider a speed zone change establishing a 45 mile-per-hour speed zone on Del Rio Road from 450 feet west of Brozio Road to 150 feet west of Bourbon Street, which has been requested by the county.

The release said in Oregon, most decisions regarding speed zones are made jointly by ODOT and the authority governing the road, such as a city or a county. ODOT has the responsibility to investigate roads for establishing new speed zones or changing posted speeds of existing speed zones. ODOT performs these investigations at the request of the road authority.

The Oregon Speed Zone Review Panel is comprised of representatives from the Governor’s Transportation Safety Committee, the Oregon State Police, the Association of Oregon Counties, the League of Oregon Cities, and ODOT.

The panel will consider testimony from the applicant, from ODOT and from the public regarding the changes.
